Urge legislators to pass Taxpayer's Protection Act

Friday, March 13, 2009

At a joint press conference, Maryland House and Senate GOP caucuses announced the filing of a bill to require 60 percent vote of the legislature to pass future tax increases. The Taxpayer's Protection Act will apply to increases to existing taxes, as well as levies of new taxes.

A recent poll by Gonzales Research showed that more than two out of every three Marylanders support the idea of providing an additional hurdle for increasing taxes.

This legislation is more important than ever, as the present levels of state spending simply cannot be maintained. This bill is designed to impose the fiscal self-restraint that is currently lacking in Annapolis.

I urge you to contact Sen. Roy Dyson at 301-858-3673, Del. John Bohanan at 301-858-3227 and Del. John F. Wood Jr. at 301-858-3170 and ask them to support The Taxpayer's Protection Act.
